Sahelion Ki Bari
Maharana Sangram singh builds this in the mid 18th
century. The 'garden of the maidens' brings to mind
the lifestyle of the ladies of the court. The delightful
gardens appear discreet and in impeccable taste. There
are four pools with dainty kiosks, and all around are
flowerbeds, lawns, pools and fountains protected by
a series of walls and shady trees. The foundation of
the Sahelion ki bari functions solely by water pressure
and no pumps are used.The garden has a lotus pool, a
sitting room decorated with paintings and glass mosaics.
The whole ambiences is flavored by the nostalgia of
those beautiful bells enjoying themselves in a lavish
aura.
Maharana Pratap Memorial (MOTI MAGARI)
An impressive bronze statue of Maharana Pratap and his
favorite and loyal horse, who was fiercely protective
about his master and stood by him till his last breath,
stands at the top of Moti Magri (Pearl Mount) overlooking
Fateh Sagar. Local people climb the hill to pay homage
to Rana Pratap and his faithful charger 'Chetak', who
was killed in the battle of Haldighati. There are the
ruins of one of the first Udaipur's forts and there
is also a charming Japanese rock garden not faraway
.
